when i try to flash through fastboot ..the system recovery stock img i get sending then flashed failed <<to many links>>
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
That's just a glitch with FB.. sometimes it's a pain in the ass.. try unplugging the usb and replugging it in.. try that a few times.. if it still doesnt flash and you get that error reboot and try again..
[Dell Streak 7] thatruth132:
yeah i got it , that was a new one for me
[Dell Streak 7] thatruth132:
do you think root will stay
[Dell Streak 7] thatruth132:
ok so after downloading do i rename package mines was labled LG7_336_0_33.pkg

do i rename to update.pkg because i get a error flashing the other as is...

edit: nevermind renaming worked
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
I posted this in another thread but thought it would also be useful here... if you HAVE NOT tried the OTA and have clockwork recovery installed.. read this:

Whenever you mod your device you pretty much cant get OTA updates. If you have a device **especially** with clockwork recovery or a device with a custom rom you pretty much forfeit getting OTA updates and have to rely on the devs to incorporate the updates into their rom. I mean I have a rooted mytouch 4g running clockwork and also a custom rom.. a OTA update would NEVER work.. especially with a custom recovery. unless it's an update.zip which CWR can handle instead of the pkg files dell uses.. and cant be installed when it asks you "Do you want to install this update?" if it's an update.zip it should always be done though cwr

here is the reason why an OTA update wont work..

You get notification there is an update.. You: "great there is an update! let me download it!" downloading...... boom it asks you if you want to install the update.. you of course click yes.. then what the update does is TRY to bring you into recovery.. but guess what? The recovery that it's looking to execute isnt there anymore... why? because it was replaced by CWR so of course it's going to fail and prob give you bad results like we have been seeing...

MY ADVICE:: If you want to apply the OTA update then flash the stock recovery FIRST replacing the clockwork recovery!! after you do that first test to make sure stock recovery stuck and is what's installed.. if so then boot up and install the OTA update... THEN you can reflash clockwork recovery... you should be good to go and not encounter the issues some of us have had..
[Dell Streak 7] illdill:
I did that, had it completely back to stock, only root remained. But in the stock recovery menu, i chose to flash the update and it restarted with no changes. Maybe it has something to do with root?
[Dell Streak 7] Jersey Swags:
*patiently waiting*:cool:
[Dell Streak 7] daveid:
Can you explain how you decrypted the pkg?

I took your work, and created an update.zip for Clockwork. With a little work, I have 2.2.2 AND root. I am going to upload it to my server, and make a thread in the DEV section. I will need one guinea pig to test and ensure I did this right.
[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
Sweet dave im not home until 4pm eastern but ill give it a go. Pm me a link or whatever.

[Dell Streak 7] thatruth132:
I downloaded it what to do with it
[Dell Streak 7] daveid:
What did you download?

If there is to be any discussion of updates provided by myself or anyone other than the official Dell update, please keep those to their own threads. I have started one for my update, and have sent links to those who have requested them. If you want to talk about it, head to my thread in the DEV section.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
Apparently the streak5 and 7 pkgs are encrypted the same way. I just tossed it onto my streak5, reinstalled a stock recovery and ran it. It fails since the model numbers dont match and it leaves you with the decrypted file
[Dell Streak 7] thatruth132:
neat trick
[Dell Streak 7] thatruth132:
is there any way to manipulate these files for root if we already officail updated
[Dell Streak 7] daveid:
If you restored the stock recovery, you will have to wait for an exploit to be found.

Working on that with dj.

[Dell Streak 7] thatruth132:
would it be safe to say i could find a exploit in a linux system look at the recovery
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
Is the bootloader just as unlocked as the streak 5?

If it is you could just adb push su and superuser.apk
[Dell Streak 7] Kevinjj123:
Hey can you shoot me the link? I am willing to try it.
[Dell Streak 7] thatruth132:
i dont think so or we would all have root who updated safely
[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
The bootloader is unlocked as the streak. If it wasnt you would not be able to flash cwr unrooted like we can. Ive tryed pushing su through adb its A no go

sent from my Tbolt.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
oh it doesnt work? I'm just assuming since currently the streak5 can be rooted by superuser.zip

all it contains is

system/app/superuser.apk

system/bin/su

Have you tried flashing superuser.zip? since CWM works now

http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/Tools/Superuser.zip

if it doesnt work just nandroid back.
[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
Manii thanks ive tryed that su it gives a error trying to install binary. Then it dumps a flashable zip on the sd i boot i.to cwr and try to flash the binary no go. Have you successfully rooted 2.2.2 on the og streak?,

sent from my Tbolt.
[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
Ahh i miss read no i have not flashed that. The only thing ive tryed flashing is the binary that su gave me. I will try when i get home

sent from my Tbolt.
[Dell Streak 7] thatruth132:
We were talking about a updated streak with no root right
[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
Yes. The bootloader is unlocked. If it wasnt cwr would not flash.

WTF! ok so I followed Bog's instructions in this post

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12185475&postcount=76

I can get it to boot back up.. but whenever I reboot and try to go into fastboot it doesnt do it.. If I try to go into recovery it doesnt do it.. it just goes straight to the dell screen and boots up! fastboot is gone and cant get into recovery! I can get into cwr after it boots and I reflash cwr but still not fast boot..
[Dell Streak 7] thatruth132:
one second let me find you the guide

sorry same guide

[Dell Streak 7] thatruth132:
its basically putting the og files on sd and flashing thru adb while you have everything mounted
[Dell Streak 7] thatruth132:
make sure u are using it in adb shell
[Dell Streak 7] djdanska:
That worked for me. Thank God.. was getting worried for a while! LOL

Instead of uploading the file I just created a Torrent, and uploaded it to the pirate bay. Hope that was ok.

Also, it appears root is gone after the update, well see if I am able to get it back.
[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
Thatruth did you flash all the stock recovery system and boot.imgs first?
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
I did follow his guide.. I'm MOD EDIT.. I did what he said.. but then I accidently formatted the system.. so now I cant get into recovery, I cant get into fastboot, I cant do a adb shell because /system is wiped out... time to call dell and tell them their update MOD EDIT up my streak and they have to send me a new one.. even though it was me.. lol I'm going to tell them I got the update it said it was going to reboot now it's stuck at dell screen and no access to recovery
[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
As long as its froyo shouldnt be too hard to get root back with soc
[Dell Streak 7] sgrant:
Play dumb with them, just tell them you got the update, and now it is stuck. Let them walk you through the steps to try recovery.

If they think you know too much they may question it.
[Dell Streak 7] thatruth132:
yes i did ... system recovery boot
[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
Good too know. Dont wanna get stuck in loops lol
[Dell Streak 7] thatruth132:
did it power on or connect in apx mode
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
exactly what I plan on doing... There is no way I can reccover from this.. no system, no fastboot, no recovery.. total brick.. but I know they will send me aother one,.. I will just blame their update hehe
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
I dont know what apx mode is.. it's stuck at the dell logo screen. I can adb but no adb shell, trying to go into fb brings me to dell logo, trying to boot in recovery brings me to dell logo.. I seriously think it's ****ed.. It's all good though, I know they will send me a new one
[Dell Streak 7] KenpoAP:
I'll wait til you guys come up with something!
[Dell Streak 7] thatruth132:
they will i am on my second one but wfrom what i read if your getting a dell logo you still should have action but hey they wont question you to much
[Dell Streak 7] illdill:
This hurts us all... Sorry man.
[Dell Streak 7] thatruth132:
if you want to flash update you need to first download and rename to update.pkg and then put it on the sdcard2 ...no folders....then reboot into fastboot and flash the original recovery " i flashed the system then the recovery and then the boot.img to" but recovery should work fine the reboot into recovery select update by pkg then follow the prompt
[Dell Streak 7] thatruth132:
there is apx mode and nvflash which isnt hard to setup or use i couldnt use it because you need a legit bootloader.bin apx mode is what dell is going to put it in to fix it basically
[Dell Streak 7] djdanska:
I got mine fixed, but now no matter how i do it, i can't update to the new software. I boot into recovery and select update.pkg and it just boots into android.
[Dell Streak 7] illdill:
Has anyone had trouble downloading the update through wifi? I have completely broken my Streak 7 back down wtih factory reset and all original files, only thing is I still have root.

That's the same issue I had.. then I went back into android, flashed cwr then rebooted.. then it just rebooted back into cwr.. this update seriously is messing things up I think. I think it would be fine if we werent rooted, didnt have cwr and didnt have dj_steve's tweaks.. **** man..

Hey thetruth.. check if the app visionary will work to root the streak 7...

When I selected it (named update.pkg) from the main boot menu, the device just boots up normally and it is never applied, however, after reflashing the original recovery from having tried to apply it with the cwm recovery, it finally decided to download from the device so we will see what happens...
[Dell Streak 7] thatruth132:
Main boot menu?
[Dell Streak 7] illdill:
Volume Up & Power - the stock one
[Dell Streak 7] illdill:
Oh yeah, also when I install the cwm recovery, I can't get to it by booting with Volume Up & Power, I have to do that, then select 'update.pkg' to get to the cwm recovery. Is this normal or should it go right to the cwm menu when booting with Volume Up & Power? Sorry to get off track here.
[Dell Streak 7] illdill:
So, update downloaded to device, launched update from status bar and chose to install, device restarted, no update applied, update notification still displaying. What gives?
[Dell Streak 7] RootaToota:
Yeah I feel for ya bro... sorry...
[Dell Streak 7] thatruth132:
yeah thats normal

Thanks! Info appreciated.
[Dell Streak 7] daveid:
Can someone who has applied this update pull the contents of /system and zip it up? If you are willing to, PM me and I can give you access to my private FTP server to upload it to. I'd like to compare it with the previous build (still on my device) and see about rolling up an incremental update that can be flashed with CW for those who don't want to loose root. I'm no wiz at this, but my WinRAR skills might be up to the task (if anyone gets the reference, cool.. if not, oh well). You should still be able to do a:

adb pull /system system

and then zip up that new system folder that was created.

if you can get to cm recovery test abd shell if you have it working follow that guide i posted a link to you probably didnt didnt upgrade at least we hope , if that dont work you will need the new boot recovery and system image files and try it with those file is a good guess if it did upgrade

it will be tomorrow. we will have root with maybe a few tweaks no promises. But we will have root i do know.

In cm recovery mount everything

Then in adb shell type the commands
[Dell Streak 7] lou0611:
this?

mount all the things you can in the recovery

type these in adb shell

flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk3p2 /sdcard/boot_orig.img

flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk3p1 /sdcard/recovery_orig.img

select reboot from the recovery. now it will reboot and it will format misc and it will reboot again. NOW the device will load the os!!!

now that you are here, i also suggest to go to fastboot again and to flash all over again in this order:

flash system

flash recovery

flash boot
[Dell Streak 7] lou0611:
I have system_orig.img and boot_orig.img

not recovery

Recovered mine from ! stuck and reflashed recovery.

Dell is pretty nasty that they WIPED OUT everything on my system.

So for the question "i am wondering if root is still there?"

NO, it is not there. Nothing is there. It is a fresh device out-of-box.

I will report quandrant scores etc here later when I finished sync my apps.
[Dell Streak 7] jiwengang:
First new thing:

They have a "Power Management" (as promised) option under settings.

Basically two options

1. You can disable data connectivity in a preset time interval (say, 11pm - 5am) when screen is off

2. You can disable data connectivy everytime you turn off screen, with a preset delay

Not to get off topic.. but at least something good happened to me today. When I switched to android from blackberry I was paying 19.99 for unlimited bb service. Because I was a "loyal" customer when I upgraded to android they gave me the $30 unlimited android service for $20.. when I upgraded my daughters line (she is on family plan with me) they were billing her line $30. So I called then and said "if I was offered $20 a month on one line for being a loyal customer why am I paying $30 on my other line? I'm the same loyal customer so shouldn't I get it for the same price on both lines?" They said "you have a very good point.. please hold and I'll fix that for you" so sweet.. I'm now paying $40 a month to get unlimited (but of course throttled after 5gb so not really "unlimited") service on 2 lines ;-)
